How about for bow hunting?

It would work great for the bow hunter. It is small and light weight so it doesn't take up much room in the hunting bag and you barily fell it around the neck.

Hello Brian, First and foremost, make sure blowguns are a legal hunting method for squirrel in your state. Just because it is not prohibited does not make it legal--it must be specifically allowed, although it may be include-able under any allowances made for airguns. Second, you need to be a very, VERY good shot with a blowgun before you should even consider hunting with it (apologies for the capitals--but I cannot emphasize this point enough). You should be able to hit the bull's-eye of an official blowgun target with nearly every shot at the range you intend to hunt (search "United States Blowgun Association" for free official target graphic). Even if you can do this, your range should be limited to 20 yards at the very most, 10-15 yards is better. Finally, be aware that for squirrel-sized game there are NO commercially available blowgun darts--despite anything you may read elsewhere. Even a heavy wire blowgun dart like the Mini Broad Head does very little tissue damage, even if it penetrates deeply. You need to think in terms of bowhunting, not rifle hunting. Most truly experienced hunters modify a dart similar to the Bamboo Dart with a #2 Exacto blade broad head. The cutting blade will do enough tissue damage to humanely take a squirrel, but again your shot placement must be very precise in the vital area--again, just like bowhunting. Apologies if I am discouraging you, but I cannot stress enough that blowgun hunters, even more than most hunters due to their weapon limitations, must shoot responsibly and humanely. Having said all that, know that I have hunted with blowguns on two continents and that if you do wish to use a blowgun for hunting, this one is an excellent choice as long as you have the lung power to shoot a "Big Bore" and the accuracy needed to make a humane shot.

ya for target practice. I generally go with Carbon when hunting and have started phasing out all the aluminum arrows

Check Excalibur.com for warranty info. I hunted last season with mine as a first time bow hunter. Put two in the freezer. Get you a target and zero the scope at 20 yards......shot my deer at 30 yards. Arrow went exactly where I aimed and blew right thru both lungs. Both deer ran less than 30 yrds. You will love the Excalibur. Don't settle for any other brand. That's my $.02 worth.

Get finger protection. Glove, Tab, or Finger Savers on the string. If you start whacking your arm with the string you need a arm guard thing. Shooting a bow without pain is awesome :)

I shot a whitetail doe with mine at 58yds. She ran 40 yds before dying. The Recruit can do anything those high$$ bows can do

A good lightweight broad head that has taken deer, raccoon and several wild pigs. It will work with any arrow you choose or any pound bow. Blades are easily sharpened. This point is only 100 grains. I really like 125 or heavier for pigs or bear.

Yes, for critters that is. Check out some You Tube videos, one in particular shows hunting rattle snakes and rabbits.

I think the minimum draw weight for a hunting bow is at least 45lbs, so no, I wouldn't consider this as a hunting bow..unless just for squrrels or rabbits...but not on a deer.

These chairs are perfect for bow hunting because the shape of the seat allows you to draw and shoot at an angle easily. I use them on my ranch both out of "pop up" blinds and the new Nature Blinds (the ones that look like a stump). I have not used a dog house blind before, but the window height looks similar to the blinds that I have used it out of. They should work great.

This is just the case. If you don 't have a bow I would strongly suggest visiting a good sporting goods store to be properly fit for a bow that will help you meet your objectives. Happy shooting!

15 inch or longer if you want. I suggest the cheap aluminum ones for target practice just use the tips on them. If your going to use the bow to hunt then I guess I would use the expensive tips and arrows. I just use mine for target shooting unless your Bill Gates you'll go broke hawing the top of the line bolts and heads.

with a longer bolt and broadhead tips u can probly bring down a deer with a clean shot from close range..but this is mainly for small game...squirrels and rabbits and whatnot

If you hunt from a climbing tree stand, they will exceed your tree stand climbing width. For me there is enough to go around the tree and tie it in front of me with a bow. If you hunt on the ground it is easily tied in the back side of the tree with plenty left over. I wouldn't fret over it, you could easily add on to length with a piece of appropriately sized ribbon.

You can buy a bow string from stores that sell archery supplies, including Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, Cabelas, and maybe even Walmart. Or order on line: google "archery supplies"
